80,000 miles away right now!

Thanks, nice widget!

Cool Chris! Thanks!

Cool, I see a online it will take 29 days to get to l2, it is a slow planed trajectory, the space station is orbiting earth about 2.5x faster then it in comparison.

Very useful Chris - thank you!

Thanks so much for posting this, Chris.
I suppose that I would have found it eventually, but you never know with me!
I am fascinated by taking a look a couple of times a day and watching the progress.

Temperatures are now displaying; the primary mirror is a balmy -71 F, and the instrument radiator is a truly nippy -244 F.

Read tonight all the sunshade screens are deployed!

I must admit I had my doubts but it really looks like it is deploying well!

I’ve been posting news over in Space Exploration.

So many sub forums it's hard to keep up

This one has the best link though.

The Webb Telescope is fully deployed now and is straight on its way to Largrange point 2. JWST has already completed more than 90% of the way. The telescope's segments are currently being deployed.
With the link below you can track the deployment and the % of the completed way.

Watched a video about how each cell has an actuator on it to be able to not only adjust it's tilt and aiming but also its 'shape'.

Guess they learned a lesson from the Hubble when the mirror went disfigured. Fortunatly in that case they were able to go out and service it. JWST this will not be possible.

Hoping everything continues to go smoothly as it has so far.

Hope everything is going to be OK too. They had 25 years to create it, that's why I think they have taken into account all the risks. Fingers crossed

Getting real close. But then: "The process of telescope alignment will take approximately three months." And you thought it was hard to collimate your own telescope?

The tricky part.

I believe on Monday at around 3 pm they are supposed to burn it into its final orbit .
Thanks for sharing
